Eric Young, who was out since Tuesday for personal reasons, returned to the club on Friday and went 0-for-1 as a pinch-hitter.

He lined out to end the game in the 11th. Sat, Sep 16, 2006 12:30:00 AM

Eric Young left the Rangers for a couple of days for personal reasons.

The Rangers won't be in any rush to get him back. Since they're no longer in contention, they're content to use younger players. Tue, Sep 12, 2006 11:05:00 PM

In his Rangers debut, Eric Young tripled and doubled Monday against the A's.

Young hadn't played since being called up on Aug. 25. Despite the fine game today, he's probably not going to see much action the rest of the way. He can be an upgrade against left-handers, but being 10 games out in the loss column, the Rangers might as well give the at-bats to younger players. Mon, Sep 4, 2006 08:02:00 PM

Rangers purchased the contract of outfielder Eric Young from Triple-A Oklahoma.

Nelson Cruz has been struggling, so perhaps Young will take over as Matt Stairs' platoonmate and start against left-handers. If it happens, it might be only a short-term thing, as the Rangers would have no reason to stick with Young if they fall completely out of the race. There's little reason to pick up Young in AL-only leagues. Fri, Aug 25, 2006 06:36:00 PM

Shin-Soo choo (elbow, ankle) is progressing nicely in his rehab and admits to feeling "too good" as spring training nears.

The veteran outfielder is already doing full baseball activities and shouldn't have any limitations when spring training begins. He's looking to bounce back from a forgettable 2014 campaign where he slashed just .242/.340/.374 with 13 homers and 40 RBI in 123 games in his first season as a Ranger.

Harrison, who is recovering from spinal fusion surgery, has previously been limited to throwing from 90 feet. He's making progress, but the Rangers aren't expecting him to be ready to contribute until around late May.

The Rangers are expecting Martin Perez (elbow) to rejoin the rotation in July.

Perez has expanded his throwing program to 120 feet and plans to mix in some changeups with his fastball next week. The club says he's ahead of his rehab timetable from Tommy John surgery at the moment, though obviously he still has a long ways to go. "I feel like the ball is going fast," Perez said. "I’m doing good. I’m throwing every day again. I just want to do everything good, take my time and come back and help my team."
